No stale shm files. echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches doesn't do anything
either. But waiting a couple of minutes does cause the output of "free" to
drop down to the normal idle level. So not really a leak.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who gave suggestions. For the moment I'm going to
hope that the Mellanox OFED package will continue to work. I've combined it
with the SDSC Mellanox OFED roll, and it's a reasonably clean process (although
I will have to do it (perhaps automated some day) for each kernel version).
Noam
